Senior Security Engineer, Agentic Red Team, DeepMind

Job description

info_outline About the job At Google DeepMind our mission is to build the world's first general-purpose learning agent. Central to this mission is the complex task of measuring the intelligence of our prototypes. As a Software Engineer, you will be working with the cutting edge AI agents developed by our exceptional team of Machine Learning and Neuroscience research scientists. Your responsibilities will include everything from creating systems for agent testing using 2D and 3D games to developing test problems within physics simulators.

You will create graphical visualization of results, build competitive agent leaderboards and test new algorithms on robots. To succeed in this role you will need to have a strong foundation in software engineering and enjoy working on a wide range of challenging problems within a mission-driven team. As a part of the Agentic Red Team, you will be a specialized, high-velocity unit within DeepMind Security. Your mission is to close the Agentic Launch Gap—the critical window where novel AI capabilities outpace traditional security reviews.

As a Senior Security Engineer on the Agentic Red Team, you will be the primary technical executor of adversarial engagements. You will work with product builders, identifying architectural flaws during the design phase long before formal reviews begin. Your core focus will be to perform multi-turn attacks on production-level AI models, specifically targeting agentic behaviors like tool usage and reasoning chains. You will not only find vulnerabilities but also help close the loop by contributing to Auto Red teaming frameworks and defensive strategies, ensuring that your findings are codified into reusable guardrails for all Google agent developers.

Artificial intelligence will be one of humanity’s most transformative inventions. At Google DeepMind, we are a pioneering AI lab with exceptional interdisciplinary teams focused on advancing AI development to solve complex global challenges and accelerate high-quality product innovation for billions of users. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, ensuring safety and ethics are always our highest priority.

We are pushing the boundaries across multiple domains. Our global teams offer diverse learning opportunities and varied career pathways for those driven to achieve exceptional results through collective effort.
